This paper details the application of an on-chip time domain technique to the characterization of propagation delay, crosstalk and crosstalk-induced delay, along interconnects in deep submicron technology. The measurement system is detailed, together with the signal integrity patterns and their implementation in 0.18 CMOS technology. Measurement obtained with this technique are presented and compared with simulations.","PeriodicalId":447680,"journal":{"name":"ICMTS 2000.

TPC (Total Photon Counts) were proportional to average drain and substrate currents under dynamic operation as observed under DC operation. TPC profiles of wide channel width MOSFETs, however, varied along the channel width direction under dynamic operation. It suggests that the substrate current distribution fluctuates along the channel width direction and affects the device lifetime.","PeriodicalId":447680,"journal":{"name":"ICMTS 2000.
